Vault Labs

We’ve worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs in the past few years, and one of the most challenging parts of building a business is the ability to prototype a product. Vault Labs – new in 2017 – is a fully equipped and staffed prototyping lab for building early versions of hardware, software, and virtual reality products.

Educational project classes to learn advanced skills in engineering, software, and other topics.

Access to the Vault community, consisting of more than 100 business experts, software developers, hardware engineers, marketers, accountants, lawyers, and everyone else you’ll likely need as you build your business.

You also get access to desk space, offices, conference rooms, gigabit Internet access, coffee/snacks, and much more, depending on your membership level, to help you grow your business.

Who is Vault Labs for?

Vault Labs is not a maker space for hobbyists or home projects. It is designed to be used by entrepreneurs, inventors, and their teams to build new product ideas. You don’t have to have your business up and running, nor do you have to be an expert. But you do have to intend to commercialize your work someday.

To use the Labs, you must be a Vault member in good standing.

What kind of equipment do you have, and what does it do?

We’re part of a network of prototyping labs around Iowa, so if we can’t build it here, we know who can!

Our facility is focused on early stage hardware prototypes – additive printing of plastic, electronics like Arduino and Raspberry Pi, cellular and radio technology, etc. We also have a team that does software development. If there’s something you need that’s not listed here, let us know, and we’ll point you in the right direction.
